Using room models and plan sketches, the exhibition presents Richter as the curator of his own work; it is a little-known fact that, since his training at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts, the painter has engaged intensively with how his art is presented. In addition, a selection of portraits by photographers including Anton Corbijn, Angelika Platen, and Alice Springs provide a window into Gerhard Richter’s personality. A special feature of the exhibition lies in the unique combination of these artistic pieces with unusual objects from the applied arts and everyday life. Through items such as the Obelisco porcelain service, the 1024 Colors carpet as well as record and book covers, the exhibition demonstrates how Gerhard Richter’s oeuvre has found its way into many people’s daily lives, often without their knowledge.
